Redesign ChuaCircuit and add ChuaDiode
I wanted to redesign the parameterization of Chua's Circuit to realistic values (mH instead of H, nF instead of F) and explain how the nonlinear resistor called Chua's diode can be implemented using two OpAmp circuits called negative impedance converter. Now it is possible to implement the circuit with real components. It is even possible to replace the inductor by an OpAmp circuit.
With Chua's circuit you may see that changing initialization switches between two attractors.
Furthermore, changing a resistance you may see the path to chaos.
Before we start a discussion about perodicity and chaos: Please have a look at the references.
Default parameterization delivers periodic results.
Results obtained with Dymola, Open Modelica and Wolfram System Modeler are (nearly) the same:
OK, I then very much recommend to switch to the standard size for the sake of a unified layout and appearance of the MSL.
I think we shall avoid redundant information in the diagram layer which is also stated in the documentation.
Regarding information on the diagram layer: I believe that many users look at the diagram layer, and after that at the text layer. They don't read the documentation layer unless is pops up due to "preferredView". But ok.
